Selfie-Themed Art Exhibitions

'From Selfie to Self-Expression' Will Display at the Saatchi Gallery

— January 23, 2017 — Art & Design
'From Selfie to Self-Expression' is an upcoming art exhibition scheduled for the Saatchi Gallery in London. A product of a partnership between the gallery and Huawei, the electronics producer, the gallery will explore this novel form of self-expression while accepting the work of international artists (whether amateur or professional) through the form of selfies.

Fine art and visual media are no strangers to self-depictions. Self portraits have been part of the art history canon since the Renaissance and earlier. Nonetheless, the popularity of selfies represent a paradigm shift in that self-representation, both because of the capabilities of the technology (q.v. smartphones with front-facing cameras) and its mass availability. From Selfie to Self-Expression looks to explore the ways in which that difference exists.

Interested entrants in the exhibition can upload their selfies to the Saatchi Gallery website.
Trend Themes
1. Selfie Art - The rise of selfie-themed art exhibitions presents an opportunity for artists and galleries to explore the relationship between technology and self-expression.
2. Crowdsourced Curation - The use of crowd-sourcing for curation in selfie-themed art exhibitions allows for wider participation and greater diversity of representation.
3. Art and Technology Partnership - Collaborations between the art and technology industries, as seen in the 'From Selfie to Self-Expression' exhibition, offer opportunities for innovation in the way we approach art creation and distribution.
Industry Implications
1. Art Galleries - Art galleries can leverage selfie-themed exhibitions to attract and engage with younger, tech-savvy audiences, while exploring new ways of curating and exhibiting art.
2. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can partner with art galleries and artists to showcase the capabilities of their products in creating and sharing self-expression through selfies and other visual media.
3. Social Media - Social media platforms can expand their role in the art world by partnering with galleries and artists to facilitate the creation, curation, and distribution of self-portraits and other visual content.
